Reviewing Toys

Toys-R-Us has made this statement in regards to all the recalls:

We believe that when a product is recalled, the most important thing is to get that product out of children’s hands. To that end, we have instituted a “no quibble” policy when it comes to toy recalls. This means Toys”R”Us will take back recalled product whether it was purchased at Toys”R”Us or not - with or without a receipt.

We see ToysRUs is behind their consumers and wanting to make this holiday season a safe one for children. What about the rest? As I find more messages I will post them here. Remember folks, if your child gets a recalled product you can exchange it this holiday season. Even if you don’t have a receipt.

Thank you ToysRus!

After last week’s recall of the AquaDots I heard there was another toy recalled from Spinmaster toys so I wanted to make sure it was one I didn’t have. Not to worry, I didn’t, but I thought ya’ll might or could end up with it on your child’s holiday wish list. So here is a quick list of their recalled products.

Aqua Dots- Remember last week some children swallowed beads and the doctors discovered that the beads had a chemical that makes date rape drugs in them. Quickly these dots were being removed from consumer’s hands, those that were out there were asked to take them to get replacement beads or get a toy of equal value.

Do you remember back in the day going to the park and using the teeter totter? Errr, maybe that should be the seesaw. Whatever the case may be your probably know exactly what I’m talking about. It was the one thing in the playground that no matter how fun it was you had to have someone else sitting at the other end for it to work. Right? They’ve got a new seesaw in town called the Spirohop, but lets go back a bit.

Think back, the original seesaws were made of metal and if it was too hot you’d burn your butt/legs or if it was too cold you’d freeze. Be careful not to get stuck to it from frostbite. Either way there were even more things to be wary of when using the seesaw.

It seems that every week there is a new toy being ripped off the shelf because of another toy recall. Just in time for the holidays? Are there any toys out there that are safe these days?

Shocking news to consumers as this time it’s a toy company that doesn’t have lead, instead it can be much more fatal. This time it’s a toy that consists of a drug…a date rape drug called gamma hydroxy butyrate. The beads in this toy are what is so harmful.
